title: 'Disable kexec system call'
description: |-
<tt>kexec</tt> is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your current kernel,
and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot but it is independent of the system firmware.
And like a reboot you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
